Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportbehälter für das Warmhalten von zubereiteten Nahrungsmitteln mit einem doppelwandigen, isolierenden Behälter und einer verschließbaren Entnahmeöffnung.The invention relates to a transport container for keeping food warm with a double-walled, insulating container and a closable removal opening.

Für das Warmhalten von Nahrungsmitteln, insbesondere von flüssigen Nahrungsmitteln ist die Verwendung eines Thermos bekannt. Dieser besteht aus einem doppelwandigen, evakuierten Glasbehälter. Warm eingefüllte Nahrungsmittel halten wegen der guten Isolierung der Wandung ihre Temperatur, Da es nur auf die Isolierung ankommt, ist der Thermos selbstverständlich auch zum Kühlhalten geeignet. Beim Thermos wird grundsätzlich nur die Temperatur des eingefüllten Nahrungsmittels möglichst gehalten. So ist beispielsweise eine zusätzliche Energie­zufuhr für das Warmhalten nicht vorgesehen.The use of a thermo is known for keeping foods warm, in particular liquid foods. This consists of a double-walled, evacuated glass container. Food filled with warm food maintains its temperature due to the good insulation of the wall. Since it is only the insulation that is important, the Thermos is of course also suitable for keeping cool. With the Thermos, only the temperature of the filled food is fundamentally possible held. For example, an additional energy supply for keeping warm is not provided.

Bekannt ist es auch schon, Wärmeplatten für das Warmhalten von Speisen zu verwenden. Diese werden aber nicht für Transportzwecke eingesetzt und sind deshalb auch nicht im Transportbehälter integriert.It is also known to use hot plates to keep food warm. However, these are not used for transport purposes and are therefore not integrated in the transport container.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Transportbehälter für Nahrungsmittel zu schaffen, bei dem gute Isolierung und Warmhalten der Speisen im Warmraum durch eine zusätzliche Energiequelle ermöglicht und überdies mit der Möglichkeit kombiniert sind, nicht warmzuhaltende Speisen in einem vom Warmraum getrennt vorgesehenen Raum ebenfalls mitzu­führen.The object of the invention is to provide a transport container for food in which good insulation and keeping food warm in the warm room is made possible by an additional energy source and, moreover, are combined with the possibility of also keeping food which is not to be kept warm in a room provided separately from the warm room.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Behälterinnenraum unterteilt ist und in einem Teil einen auswechselbar gehalterten Wärmespeicher aufweist. Ein anderer Teil des Behälters, nämlich ein eigener Raum oder einfach eine Stellfläche auf der Außenseite, dient als Aufnahme für den Transport nicht zu wärmender Speisen, wie Salat und Getränke. Ein derart ausgelegter Transport­behälter ist besonders geeignet für den Transport von Nahrungsmitteln, die für längere Zeit auf einer recht hohen Temperatur gehalten werden müssen, wie beispiels­weise Pizza.This object is achieved in that the container interior is divided and in one part has an exchangeably held heat accumulator. Another part of the container, namely a separate room or simply a storage space on the outside, serves as a receptacle for the transport of food that is not to be heated, such as salad and drinks. A transport container designed in this way is particularly suitable for the transport of foods that have to be kept at a fairly high temperature for a long time, such as pizza.

Im Warmraum ist zwischen dem Aufnahmeraum für die warm zu haltenden Speisen und den Aufnahmeraum für den auswechselbaren Wärmespeicher eine gitterförmig durch­brochene Unterteilungswand angeordnet. Diese erlaubt das Zirkulieren der angewärmten Luft vom Aufnahmeraum für den Wärmespeicher in den Aufnahmeraum für die warm zu haltende Speise. Wegen des Aufsteigens der warmen Luft ist eine Anordnung besonders günstig, bei der die gitterförmig unter­brochene Wand horizontal und der Wärmespeicher unter ihr angeordnet ist. Eine horizontal liegende Unterteilungswand ist auch dann stabil gehaltert, wenn sie lediglich von unten abgestützt und von oben durch das Gewicht der aufge­stellten Nahrungsmittelbehälter belastet ist. Da sie im übrigen frei aufgelegt und jederzeit entmehmbar ist, kann sie vor allem für Reinigungszwecke der Unterteilungswand selbst und des gesamten Behälters jederzeit leicht und ohne Aufwand aus dem Behälterinnenraum entnommen werden.In the warm room between the receiving space for the food to be kept warm and the receiving space for the exchangeable heat accumulator is arranged a grid-like perforated partition wall. This allows the warmed air to circulate from the receiving space for the heat store into the receiving space for the food to be kept warm. Because of the rise of warm air is one Arrangement particularly favorable in which the lattice-shaped interrupted wall is arranged horizontally and the heat accumulator is arranged below it. A horizontal partition wall is also held stable when it is only supported from below and is loaded from above by the weight of the food containers set up. Since it is otherwise freely placed and can be removed at any time, it can be removed from the interior of the container at any time easily and without effort, especially for cleaning purposes of the partition wall itself and of the entire container.

Für den Wärmespeicher ist zweckmäßig eine Schubfüh­rung mit Endanschlag vorgesehen. Er kann dann schlittenar­tig leicht eingeschoben und für die Wiederaufladung ent­nommen werden. Auch das ergibt somit eine ganz einfache Handhabung.A thrust guide with end stop is expediently provided for the heat accumulator. It can then easily be slid in and taken out for recharging. This also makes it very easy to use.

Die Mitführung der nicht zu wärmenden Speisen kann einfach auf der Oberseite des Behälters erfolgen. Dort werden die Speisen aufgestellt und durch einen umlaufenden, nach oben vorstehenden Flansch auf einfache Weise am Herunterfallen gehindert.The food that is not to be heated can easily be carried on the top of the container. There the food is set up and prevented from falling down in a simple manner by a circumferential flange projecting upwards.

Sämtliche Teile könne aus Aluminium und/oder Edel­stahl gefertigt sein. Aluminium hat ein geringes Gewicht und ist somit für Transpsortzwecke gut geeignet. Edelstahl ist besonders hygienisch und leicht sauberzuhalten und zu pflegen. Es ist deshalb auch denkbar, den äußeren Behälter­kasten aus Aluminium, den inneren Behälterkasten aber aus Edelstahl zu fertigen.All parts can be made of aluminum and / or stainless steel. Aluminum has a low weight and is therefore well suited for transports purposes. Stainless steel is particularly hygienic and easy to keep clean and maintain. It is therefore also conceivable to manufacture the outer container box from aluminum, but the inner container box from stainless steel.

Zur Verbesserung der Isolationseigenschaften sollen Außenwand und Innenwand einen Abstand voneinander haben und durch eine Isolierschicht voneinander getrennt sein. Der Abstand soll, damit der Behälter nicht zu umfangreich wird, auf etwa 25 mm Freiraum zwischen den Wänden beschränkt werden. Der Freiraum wird beispielsweise mit Styroporplatten gefüllt. Die Eckbereiche können mit einem gut isolierenden Zweikomponentenschaum gefüllt sein.To improve the insulation properties, the outer wall and inner wall should be spaced apart and separated from one another by an insulating layer. The distance should be limited to around 25 mm between the walls so that the container does not become too large will. The free space is filled with polystyrene panels, for example. The corner areas can be filled with a well-insulating two-component foam.

Man erhält so einen Kombibehälter für den gleichzei­tigen Transport warm zu haltender und nicht zu wärmender Speisen, der robust und einfach zu handhaben, zu reinigen und zu pflegen ist. Der Behälter ist somit insbesondere für die Hauszulieferung von Speisen im Rahmen gewerblicher oder karitativer Zwecke eine ausgezeichnete Organisations­hilfe.The result is a combination container for the simultaneous transport of food to be kept warm and not to be heated, which is robust and easy to handle, clean and maintain. The container is therefore an excellent organizational aid, in particular for the home delivery of food for commercial or charitable purposes.

Ein Behälter 10 weist vorzugsweise kubische Form mit quadratischem Grundriß und einer Höhe auf, die ungefähr die Hälfte der Quadratseitenlänge beträgt. Der Behälter­innenraum 12 weist die gleiche Konfiguration auf. Der Behälterinnenraum ist durch einen Horizontalboden 14 in Form einer gelochten Aluminiumplatte mit Edelstahlein­fassung (Fig. 6) in einen obenliegenden Speisenraum 16 und einen untenliegenden Wärmespeicherraum 18 unterteilt, in dem auswechselbar ein aufladbarer Wärmespeicher 20 angeordnet ist.A container 10 preferably has a cubic shape with a square outline and a height that is approximately half the square side length. The container interior 12 has the same configuration. The container interior is through a horizontal floor 14 in the form of a perforated aluminum plate with a stainless steel edging (FIG. 6) divided into an overhead dining room 16 and an underlying heat storage space 18, in which a rechargeable heat storage 20 is interchangeably arranged.

Der Wärmespeicher 20 ist von herkömmlicher Bauart, wie sie von Warmhalteplatten in Restaurants bekannt ist. Zweckmäßig wird der Wärmespeicher in einem entsprechenden Gerät mit Netzanschluß ständig aufgeheizt bereitgehalten, bei Bedarf aus dem Aufheizgerät entnommen und in seine Schubführung 22 mit Endanschlag 24 eingeschoben.The heat accumulator 20 is of a conventional type, as is known from hot plates in restaurants. The heat accumulator is expediently kept heated in a corresponding device with a mains connection, removed from the heating device if necessary and inserted into its slide guide 22 with an end stop 24.

Der Speiseraum 16 hat auf seiner Vorderseite (in den Fig. 1 und 3 links) eine große Öffnung 26, die durch eine Tür 28 verschließbar ist. Hierfür ist die Tür 28 einseitig in Scharnieren aufgehängt und anderseitig mit einem sogenannten Kistenverschluß 30 versehen, mit dessen Hilfe die Tür auf die Öffnung 26 und eine diese rings umgreifende Dichtung 32 niedergezogen und hier verschlossen werden kann.The dining area 16 has on its front (in FIGS. 1 and 3 on the left) a large opening 26 which can be closed by a door 28. For this purpose, the door 28 is suspended on one side in hinges and provided on the other side with a so-called box lock 30, with the aid of which the door can be pulled down onto the opening 26 and a seal 32 encompassing it all around and closed here.

Der Behälter 10 und die Tür 28 sind doppelwandig ausgeführt. Die Außenwand und die Innenwand weisen einen gewissen Abstand voneinander auf, der vorzugsweise 25 mm beträgt. Der Freiraum zwischen Behälteraußenwand und Behälterinnenwand ist mit einem wärmeisolierenden Material gefüllt, so daß eine Isolierschicht 34 entsteht. Diese Isolierschicht kann einfach aus Styroporplatten bestehen, die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in Tür, Oberwand und Unterwand eine Stärke von 25 mm, in der Rückwand eine Stärke von 20 mm aufweist. Die nicht zugänglichen Ecken sind mit einem isolierenden Zweikomponentenschaum gefüllt. Als Material für die Behälteraußenwand und die Behälterinnen­wand ist Aluminium einer Stärke von 0,8 mm bestens geeignet. Wenn dies aus Gründen der erleichterten Pflege oder der größeren Ansehnlichkeit gewünscht wird, ist als Material auch Edelstahl verwendbar. Selbstverständlich ist auch eine Mischbauweise möglich, bei der die Außenwände aus Aluminium, die Innenwände aber aus Edelstahl bestehen.The container 10 and the door 28 are double-walled. The outer wall and the inner wall are at a certain distance from one another, which is preferably 25 mm. The space between the outer wall of the container and the inner wall of the container is filled with a heat-insulating material, so that an insulating layer 34 is formed. This insulating layer can simply consist of styrofoam plates, which in the exemplary embodiment shown have a thickness of 25 mm in the door, top wall and bottom wall, and a thickness of 20 mm in the rear wall. The inaccessible corners are filled with an insulating two-component foam. Aluminum with a thickness of 0.8 mm is the best material for the outer wall and the inner wall of the tank suitable. If this is desired for reasons of easier maintenance or greater aesthetics, stainless steel can also be used as the material. Of course, a mixed construction is also possible in which the outer walls are made of aluminum, but the inner walls are made of stainless steel.

Der Behälter weist oben einen Tragegriff 36 auf. Die Oberseite des Behälters ist eine ebene Platte, die ringsum von einem aufstehenden Flansch 38 umgeben wird, der eine Höhe von zumindest 15 mm aufweisen soll. Werden auf die flache Oberseite des Behälters Salatschüsseln oder gefüllte Trinkbecher gestellt, so werden diese durch den umlaufenden Flansch 38 beim Transport im Kraftfahrzeug oder beim Tragen von Hand hier gehalten und am Herabfallen gehindert. Es ergibt sich somit trotz einfachster Mittel eine besonders einfache Handhabung. Überdies sind hier Salat und Getränke, bei denen eine Erwärmung, wie im Behälterinnenraum 12 uner­wünscht ist, einfach auf Umgebungstemperatur gehalten. Diese Kombination von einer Transportmöglichkeit eines Teils der Speisen bei Umgebungstemperatur und eines anderen Teils der Speisen in einem auf einer hohen Temperatur gehaltenen Warm­raum ist ein Merkmal von wesentlicher Bedeutung für den er­findungsgemäßen Transportbehälter.The container has a handle 36 at the top. The top of the container is a flat plate, which is surrounded all around by an upstanding flange 38, which should have a height of at least 15 mm. If salad bowls or filled drinking cups are placed on the flat top of the container, these are held here by the circumferential flange 38 during transport in the motor vehicle or when carried by hand and prevented from falling. Despite the simplest means, this results in particularly simple handling. In addition, here salad and drinks, in which heating, as is undesirable in the container interior 12, are simply kept at ambient temperature. This combination of a possibility of transporting part of the food at ambient temperature and another part of the food in a warm room kept at a high temperature is a feature of essential importance for the transport container according to the invention.
